Taiko Cuisine, created by Schilo van Coevorden, takes guests on a culinary journey through Asia, every dish is created with the highest quality ingredients and meticulous attention to detail. Located in the former percussion room of the Conservatorium school, Taiko Cuisine has a rich history. In the past, as people walked along Paulus Potterstraat, they could hear students practicing their drum solos through the open windows. Today, the sounds of the drum still resonate within our walls, thanks to the percussionist who plays the Taiko drum during dinner every weekend.
